Before desktop publishing was ever heard of, I was a "typesetter." There's a
word you don't hear anymore.

My mom was a typesetter when she was young too, building up the text
from the individual characters made out of metal. Then she went on to
doing it on computer-like machines, not so computer-like in the
beginning tho, they were loud machines as they operated on pressurized
air, punching holes into a ribbon of paper - that was the text. In her
later years and up until she retired, she worked in sales - selling
printed products such as business cards, forms, letterhead papers,
whatever anyone would want to have printed.

You two might have a thing or two to talk about if you ever met...
